Easy to Use

The 'no mess' wider absorbent tip and integrated Floodguard™ help reduce the #1 reported cause of user error by over 70%2

The Clearblue® Rapid Detection Pregnancy Test has been designed to offer you the easiest pregnancy testing experience. The ergonomic design is based on the needs of real women. With its longer, curved stick, 50% wider tip and convenient cap, Clearblue® Rapid Detection is easier to handle and more hygienic than ever. The innovative and unique Floodguard™ Technology inside helps prevent excess urine from entering the device which is the leading reported cause of user testing error2. When you need a clear answer, Clearblue® Rapid Detection delivers an accurate and simple testing experience.

Clearblue® Rapid Detection Pregnancy Test can be used as early as 4 days before you expect your period (which is 5 days sooner than your missed period). If you test before your expected period and get a 'Not Pregnant' (negative) result, there is still a chance that you may be pregnant. See the chart below for results from clinical testing of Clearblue® Rapid Detection with early pregnancy samples.

If you have irregular cycles, you should allow for your longest cycle in recent months before testing.

If you have no idea when you expect your period we recommend testing not less than 19 days after the last time you had unprotected sex.

If the result is 'Not Pregnant' (negative), and pregnancy is still suspected, refer to question 9.

When you are pregnant your body produces the pregnancy hormone hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotrophin). The amount of hCG in your body increases in the early stages of pregnancy. Clearblue® Rapid Detection can detect tiny amounts of this hormone in your urine. (The sensitivity of this test is 25mIU/ml).

Always read the manufacturer's instructions for any medication you are taking before conducting a test.

Fertility drugs containing hCG (such as Pregnyl® and Profasi ®4) can give misleading results (these fertility drugs are usually given by injection, and testing too soon after administration may give a false 'Pregnant' result).

Other fertility therapies (such as Clomid®5, clomiphene citrate), painkillers and hormonal contraceptives (e.g. contraceptive pill) should not affect the result. However, if you have recently stopped taking hormonal contraception or are using fertility therapies like Clomid®, your periods may be irregular, leading you to test too soon.

If you have recently been pregnant (even if not carried to full term) you may get a false 'Pregnant' result.

While Clearblue® Rapid Detection Pregnancy test is over 99% accurate3 at detecting the pregnancy hormone from the day you expect your period, it’s possible to get a pregnant (positive) result and find out later that you’re not pregnant (i.e., you may later get a negative result, or your period may start). This may be due to natural loss during the early stages of pregnancy, known as ‘early pregnancy loss’, which sadly is not uncommon, as around 1 in 4 pregnancies end in early pregnancy loss. If you do get unexpected results, ask your doctor for advice.

If the Color Change Tip has not turned completely pink you may not have applied enough urine. However, if the blue line in the control window appears within 10 minutes of performing the test then the test has worked. If no blue line appears in the Control Window within 10 minutes of performing the test, refer to question 7.

The Color Change Tip was not kept pointing downwards or the pregnancy test stick was not laid flat after urine was applied.

Too much or too little urine was used. You must sample for 5 seconds. You should test again, using a new pregnancy test stick, taking care to follow the instructions. You may wish to collect a sample of your urine in a clean, dry container and immerse only the Color Change Tip for 5 seconds.

Picture A: This denotes a 'Pregnant' (positive) result. This is more likely when you are testing before you expect your period when your hCG levels may be relatively low.

Picture B: This is not unusual when you are pregnant (positive) and you are testing on or around the day you expect your period as hCG levels may still be relatively low.

Picture C: This is more likely to occur when you are pregnant (positive) and you are testing more than a few days after you expect your period as hCG levels are higher.

If you are still unsure of your result, you should wait at least 3 days before testing again, taking care to follow instructions

For your result to be 'Pregnant' (positive) there must be a blue line in the control window and a '+' symbol in the result window within 10 minutes of performing the test. The appearance of the '+' symbol in the result window may vary, however, the lines that make up the '+' symbol and the line in the control window should be of a similar width (see pictures A-C).

For your result to be 'Not Pregnant' (negative) there must be a blue line in the control window and a '-' (minus) symbol in the result window within 10 minutes of performing the test. If your result is 'Not Pregnant' and pregnancy is still suspected, refer to question 9.

A ‘Pregnant’ result may appear in as fast as 1 minute when testing from the day you miss your period (which is the day after your period was expected but did not come). Make sure a blue line is also present in the control window before reading your result. You must wait 3 minutes to confirm a ‘Not Pregnant’ result, or when testing before you expect your period. If no blue line appears in the control window within 10 minutes the test has not worked (refer to question 7).
